As a pilot study, the investigation was designed to develop and create a healing atmosphere (IBEF) at four centres in northern California and at Auroville, the Integral Yoga community in southern India.
A brief review of the two IBEF components may serve to broaden the reader’s perspective. It is recommended that Part 1 be re-examined so as to deepen and refresh understanding of the two basic components (1).
The healing atmosphere (IBEF) was developed and induced at each of the centres by employing two core procedures. They were:
a. Applied Kinesiology (AK), a form of muscle-testing to identify energetic imbalances within body components, followed by AK techniques to restore overall balance; and
b. Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET), a method to detect and eliminate allergies, which has been shown to be effective in controlled experimental studies.
As used by alternative healers and physicians, AK represents a tool to assess the body’s bio-energetic health status. Its muscle-testing is conveyed to the brain, as a pattern of harmony or disharmony. If the energy body is balanced, there is normal muscle strength, if imbalanced, it manifests as a degree of muscle weakness. For the testing, the recipient holds out one arm and the practitioner applies gentle pressure on the wrist to detect the strength or weakness. The wellness of body components can thereby be tested, as well as allergic reactions and emotional issues.
An alternative testing is known as ‘question-response-technique’ (QRT). The subject (recipient or self) asks a health-related question, followed by muscle-testing, using the arm (as described above) or by self-testing (e.g. the middle finger tip upon the nail of the forefinger). Relative strength indicates a ‘Yes’ answer, and weakness a ‘No’ answer.
NAET uses forms of AK testing to determine whether or not:
a. the recipient is energetically balanced; and
b. the presence of an allergic substance, which leads to blockage in one or more energy channels (known as meridians in Oriental medicine). Upon identifying the meridian blockage, NAET treatment applies an acupressure (and possible acupuncture) procedure designed to clear the meridian blockages. Several sessions are usually needed in order to eliminate a series of identified allergies. Thereafter self-testing followed by basic acupressure can sometimes be used to eliminate minor allergic reactions. More serious or chronic reactions, however, would require treatment by a qualified NAET practitioner. It has been shown that NAET can address and resolve a wide range of allergy-related health disorders. As such, it may be regarded as an adjunct, though not a substitute, for regular medical diagnosis and treatment.
This article examines several aspects:
1. how IBEF was developed by applying the two core procedures described in Part 1;
2. IBEF introduction (induction) at the four centres and for Auroville;
3. IBEF verification involving multi-dimensional healing dynamics. Additional evaluation of IBEF based on case studies will be discussed in Part 3 of the article, slated to appear in the next issue of NAMAH; and
4. IBEF healing benefits and enhancements.
Integral Yoga guidance
From the start of the project, the investigator has invoked the Divine Mother for the necessary guidance in accordance with the Integral Yoga’s (Sri Aurobindo) teachings. IBEF is viewed as an exploratory project of higher consciousness. From this perspective, we assume that IBEF creation and induction can best be conducted by an investigator who is familiar with and seeks to be an aspirant of the Integral Yoga.
To prepare for IBEF creation, the first step was to develop an instrument in the form of a vial filled with water, which had been subjected to designated vibrational-electrical impulses (VEl) by means of an apparatus for this purpose. The VEl, in effect, rearranges the electrical pattern of the water-molecules in synergy with a given bio-incompatible substance (allergen). The water’s molecular structure thereby reflects the vibrational signature of the specified substance or bio-energetic condition. The vial’s correspondence to a given substance/condition can readily be verified by standard muscle-testing (PDM), as explained in Part 1. One could first PDM-test an individual for the actual substance (e.g. sugar) to which he/she is allergic, then PDM-test the individual while holding the vial for the same substance. The PDMs would show weak muscle reactions for the actual allergen, as well as for the allergen vial. By contrast, vials for substances to which a person is not allergic would PDM-test as strong.
A leading organisation whose business is to create bio-energetic vials is Allergies, Lifestyle & Health Company, (AHL). As requested by practitioners, AHL produces specific vials covering a wide variety of substances and chemical imbalances, including combinations thereof. A summary of how the vials are made by AHL is available on its website (2).
The IBEF vial was generated by ALH involving a combination of eight bio-energetic core elements, as requested by the investigator. The eight elements were derived by employing the Question-Response-Technique (QRT) muscle-testing (as explained in Part 1). Using QRT, the investigator: a) determined that IBEF would consist of eight core elements; and b) QRT identified these elements, with the help of intuitive guidance of the higher consciousness.
Accordingly, the IBEF core elements are as follows:
1. Maintaining a harmonious brain-body-field (BBF) — a balanced flow between mental and physical energy channels. Also bringing about a sustained energy balance among body systems, organs and related components, including cakras and meridian channels.
2. Eliminating allergies, involving reactivity to bio-incompatible substances and related disorders.
3. Eliminating excess toxicity in the physical body’s function.
4. Dispelling pathogens — bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites.
5. Strengthening the immune system, as needed.
6. Shielding against adverse energy forces at physical, emotional, and mental levels. This shielding includes capacity to detect and eliminate invasive adverse forces or energy bundles known as ‘entities’ in the Integral Yoga (3).
7. Bringing awareness of and support so as to reduce any undue amount of stress.
Among the above IBEF dimensions, there are several causal elements of illness. One of these pertains to identifying and dispelling negative energy, referred to as adverse forces by the Divine Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Such forces may be hidden and vary in intensity, origin, and manner of penetration into the body, e.g. microbes or occurrence of an accident.
Epidemics or pandemics for a given disease may reflect the promulgation of adverse forces. A cogent example is cited by the Mother with regard to a terrible flu plague that took place in Japan during January 1919, which killed thousands of people. The epidemic stopped shortly after the Mother — who at the time was living in Tokyo — had for two days been lying down as she repelled and dissolved an underlying force. The Mother’s struggle and overcoming of the adverse force was subsequently documented by a Japanese newspaper (4).
The second element of illness, expressed with minor disorders, can be categorised as a disharmony within the body (5). This manifests as:
a. blockages within/between energy channels:
b. conflicting energy-flow among organs or body components, toxicity; and
c. deficient energy-flow due to such factors as birth defects, genetic mutation, toxic exposure and injuries.
On a positive note, the combined IBEF dimensions are, as examined below, conducive to a more fulfilling, harmonious and contributing lifestyle for people attending the healing atmosphere centre. Revealed by QRT, such enhanced energy may be transmitted to others and gradually lead to the evolvement of a higher consciousness, accompanied by a deeper, happier, meaningful sense of being.
The procedure for inducing IBEF into a centre has been demonstrated to be effective as found for case studies to be summarised in Part 3. The investigator believes that the procedure has a spiritual foundation in accordance with the Integral Yoga. As stated earlier, a practitioner seeking to induce IBEF would preferably be
a. familiar with and dedicated to the basic Integral Yoga principles of healing; and
b. invoke divine guidance prior to inducing the healing atmosphere.
The induction consists of four steps, as follows:
1. QRT-test: ”Does IBEF currently exist at the centre”? One can expect a ‘No’ answer.
2. Holding the IBEF vial, ask: “Is permission granted for IBEF to be induced at this centre?” A ‘Yes’ indicates the steps below can be taken; a ‘No’ implies it should be done at a later time.
3. Apply a short NAET procedure, as per a and b below:
a. With the tips of the thumbs pressing between successive vertebrae, on both the right and left sides: start at the top and go down the 12 thoracic and 5 lumbar vertebrae;
b. With the thumb-tips pressing between successive lumbar vertebrae, on both the left and right sides but one inch to the right and left sides, go down the lumbar vertebrae 3, 4, and 5.
4. Repeat step 1. We can expect a ‘Yes’ answer, verifying that IBEF has now been created at the centre, If there is a ‘No’ answer, steps 1- 4 would need to be done again.
Induction verification
There are two methods for additional verification that the IBEF induction has been accomplished. The first method involves three stages, as follows:
1. Identify an individual(s) who, prior to the centre’s IBEF induction, had an allergic reaction (muscle weakness) (e.g., to sugar, salt, dairy-products), as shown by PDM muscle-testing;
2. After the IBEF induction, ask the individual to attend the centre for at least a few minutes;
3. Repeat the PDM testing, preferably after the individual(s) has left the IBEF centre. Assuming the induction was successful, he/she would no longer show an allergic reaction (muscle weakness), thereby verifying the existence of the healing atmosphere at the centre.
The second method is similar and may be more applicable during a current time-period:
a. Identify an individual(s) suspected to have an allergic reaction(s) to a substance who has never attended the IBEF centre (or not after its IBEF induction). While he/she is not present at the centre, PDM muscle-test the individual, to confirm the allergic reaction.
b. Ask the individual to attend the IBEF centre for at least a few minutes.
c. After attending the centre, PDM re-test the individual for the allergic substance. He/she would no longer show an allergic reaction, thus, verifying the centre’s IBEF healing.
Case study examples of verification at the IBEF centres will be included in the evaluation in Part 3.
The investigator’s experience with the healing atmosphere has shown that IBEF needs to be re-set with the above induction procedure over sequential time periods. Following the initial induction, re-sets are necessary after 1 week, 2 weeks and monthly thereafter.
At any given time, one can determinewith QRT-testing (‘Yes’ or ‘No’) whether or not a re-set is needed. The re-set can be regarded as absolute rather than partial. (Symbolically speaking, it is either black or white, not shades of grey.)
IBEF healing benefits
IBEF exposure has healing benefits on multiple levels and will be considered in Part 3 as case studies. The effects can be assessed with PDM or QRT and generally observed on a physical and/or an energetic level, as described in the previous article. Prior to QRT or PDM, the testing mode would be specified by first stating: ”Physical”, or “Energetic” mode — the latter tends to merge into the physical within minutes or hours.
To conduct the IBEF assessment, one would PDM or QRT the recipient:
1. Shortly before attendance at the IBEF centre — preferably, he/she had not recently been at the centre; and
2. Again, soon after his/her centre attendance.
The test and re-test assessment would focus on the above seven IBEF healing elements and use a systems analysis, as explained in Part 1. The initial test would identify causal factors among the seven IBEF categories — imbalances, pathogens, allergies, immune system, toxicity, excessive stress, adverse energy. The re-test would reveal whether or not IBEF exposure had resolved the healing issue in terms of the causal factor(s). If the healing issue was not resolved, the systems analysis and test-and re-test should be repeated in order to correctly identify the causal factors. The latter would then be induced into IBEF in order to expand its healing capacity.
Distant healing (DH)
To conduct distant healing, the holistic practitioner would have to be familiar with and skilled in bio-energetic techniques, including NAET certification. The DH procedure involves the following steps:
